QUOTABLE QUOTES
Church should be the reason you miss everything else—not everything else the reason you miss church!
You can’t leave those who created the problem in charge of the solution.
Don’t forget to pray because God didn’t forget to wake you up this morning.

THANKSGIVING
The present-day American practice of Thanksgiving descended from the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621, 399 years ago. It is a unique holiday because it doesn’t commemorate a special event such as a battle or a birthday. It is simply a day set aside to tell God thanks for His many gifts.

THANKSGIVING QUOTES
“All across America, we gather this week with the people we love to give thanks to God for the blessings in our lives.”
–George W. Bush
“Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” —Charles Dickens
“We must find the time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.” —John F. Kennedy
“Even when life may be difficult, we should thank God for all He does for us which we do not deserve.” –Billy Graham
“No matter what our circumstances, we can find a reason to be thankful.” —Dr. David Jeremiah
“Thanksgiving with the mouth stirs up thankfulness in the heart.” –John Piper

ELECTION OF OFFICERS/DIRECTORS
The election of 2023 officers and directors will be conducted at the November meeting. We appreciate the men who have demonstrated a willingness to serve.

RESULTS OF FAITHFUL WITNESSING
A boy gave his lunch to Jesus—and five thousand people were fed.
A slave girl spoke to her mistress about God—and her master, healed of his leprosy, became a devout believer.
Andrew told Peter about Jesus—and three years later Peter preached a sermon that was instrumental in bringing three thousand people into the church.
A Sunday school teacher visited Dwight Moody in the shop where he worked—and Moody became a famous evangelist who led thousands to the cross of Jesus Christ.
A little group of students met to pray for the lands where the gospel had never been heard—and the great movement of American foreign missions was launched.
Faithful witnessing can produce tremendous results. Tell someone about Jesus—and leave the results up to God.

NOT ON SUNDAY NIGHT
I love the church that Jesus bought,
And know that it is right.
I go there on Sunday morning,
But not on Sunday night.

I love to sing the songs of God,
Such worship must be right.
This I do on Sunday morn,
But not on Sunday night.

I love to hear the gospel, too,
It gives me pure delight.
I hear it Sunday morning,
But not on Sunday night.

God bless our forward-moving church,
And give it power and might.
And let it march on Sunday morning,
But not on Sunday night!

INACTIVE CHURCH MEMBER’S CALENDAR
November 2022. Getting colder. Can’t stand warm church buildings. All stuffy inside. I’ll start back when it gets warmer.
December 2022. Christmas! I just don’t have time for church this month. I’ll just resolve now to start going to church next year.
January 2023. I hereby resolve to start attending church this year. But first I have to get over the holidays. They really take a lot out of you.
